If you’re a notebook-lover on a visit to Paris, you shouldn’t miss Le Carré d’Encre, just a few streets away from the department stores, Saint Lazare and Madeleine.

The website doesn’t do them justice at all. In addition to a fabulous selection of notebooks, they have crafts supplies for scrapbooks, lots of mail art supplies and stamps customization for special occasions like wedding and baby announcements. Apparently they’re owned by La Poste, the French national post office, but it is a one-of-a-kind high-end stationery shop.
